Chapter 48: Tang Xiaoxia Returns to Normal

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  After hearing Luosi's words, Hanshuang was very angry. After all, Luosi had previously used the banner of the rise and fall of the Moon God Cult to make her attach great importance to it and not dare to be slow. She not only sent out eight moon maidens to investigate everywhere but also dispatched the strongest ritual officer in the cult to go with Luosi after learning that the Lingxian grass was on Hei Wushan.

  To know that Hei Wu Mountain is the lair of the Night God Sect, it can be said that every step is dangerous and every place is a crisis. What if the newly acquired Goddess and the most powerful High Priest in the sect encounter an accident there, and also lost the eight Moon Maidens carefully cultivated by Han Yue? Only Han Yue's Moon God Sect may be attacked by other sects who have heard the news and rushed to Lin Yue Peak, at that time it will not only be a severe blow but also a fatal one. The Moon God Sect may completely disappear from the land of Chu State.

  However, just as Luosiqi had thought before, even if she confessed, as the goddess of the Moon God Cult, the one she wanted to save was also the protector of the Moon God Cult. Han Yue would not be angry at being deceived and refuse to give her the Lingxian grass.

  Han Yue put the box containing the Ling Xian grass back on the table, dismissed everyone else, and only asked Luosi Qi when they were alone in the room: "So you said earlier that Tang Hu Fa was closed on the star-gazing platform to recover from his injuries? But why did you deceive me? Even if you told me clearly, Tang Hu Fa's status in the sect is not low. I would have helped you find him with all my might, considering your face. Moreover, the star-gazing platform is just a place for stargazing, and it's suitable for meditation and practice, but where can he recover better than the residence I arranged for him?"

  Han Yue pulled Luosi to sit down beside the bed, grasped one of her hands and asked with a gentle tone: "Sister, is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

  Luosi this time no longer willing to say more, only told Han Yue: "Sister really has nothing else, you'd better leave the Ling Xian Cao behind!"

  Han Yue saw Luo Siqi refuse to speak, knowing that asking again would be futile. Her expression turned unpleasant as she sighed and said: "Since my sister won't say anything, I won't force her either. The Ling Xian grass will stay with you for your treatment." She didn't say anything else and left. Luo Siqi watched her leave, knowing Han Yue was definitely angry. It was because of her special identity that Han Yue couldn't make things difficult for her. If it were someone else, deceiving and hiding from the Moon God Sect's leader would not have ended well.

  Because of this, Luosiqi was especially careful when she brought the Lingxian grass to the astrology platform at night. Walking alone on the mountain path leading to the astrology platform, Luosiqi, as a girl, was still very afraid, but she continued to walk cautiously, not rushing to the astrology temple and shortening her time on the mountain path. Instead, she walked repeatedly, stopping and starting again, fearing that Han Yue would secretly follow her and discover the secret of the Heart Stone Monument.

  Fortunately, there was nothing unusual on this road, but when approaching the Temple of Astrology, she suddenly quickened her pace and ran in, running all the way to where the Heart Stone Monument was located and placing her hand on it. In a daze, she had already returned to the underground cave of Snow Cloud Valley.

  This time back, it has been another month since the last time. After obtaining the spiritual power of the orange Ling Stone, Luosiqi had more confidence in her own abilities. Although she could also use the Moon God's power in special situations before, those required specific environments and were difficult for her to feel safe with. However, after gaining the power of a seven-colored Linglong stone with Pool Huang's help, she would always feel her body filled with spiritual energy during normal times. On the way back to the Moon Peak, she would also practice using this spiritual energy method when resting alone.

  When I saw Tang Xiaoxia again, he was still lying in bed resting. He was very happy to see Luosi Qi, but due to his weak body, he could only smile slightly and nod lightly at her, saying: "You're here."

  He didn't even have the strength to say another "hui" (a Chinese character). Luosiqi saw his weak appearance and wanted to cry. Qingyuansu said that Tang Xiaoxia woke up on the second day after Luosiqi left, but because his body was too weak, he could only get up and walk two steps in the room every day, and it was still very difficult for him to act like a normal person.

  Luosiqi hastily handed the Lingxian grass to Qingyuanzi, who opened the box and revealed an uncontrollable ecstasy. His expression made Luosiqi very curious, as she and Tang Xiaoxia were both people whom Qingyuanzi had high hopes for. However, this was just a medicine that could help Tang Xiaoxia recover earlier, not something that would determine his life or death. Qingyuanzi's expression should have been one of warmth and delight, but his ecstasy seemed as if he had suddenly achieved something he had dreamed of but never thought possible.

  Seeing the strange gaze in Luosi's eyes, Qingyuanzi, who had calmed down from his excitement, hastily said: "Look at me, I'm so old and still can't control my emotions. I'm really happy for Xiaohai! You haven't seen each other for a long time, keep him company and chat with him more. I'll go make medicine for him right now!" After saying that, he personally carried the box out the door.

  Luosi had a thousand words to say to Tang Xiaoxia, but seeing his weak appearance, she knew that talking too much would exhaust his body, so she just sat by his bedside and smiled at him. The more she looked at him, the happier she became, until her desire to talk to him was overwhelming, and she finally said softly to Tang Xiaoxia: "I'll go out for a bit, I'll be back soon!"

  Luosi met Qingyuanzi who had just finished brewing the medicine as she was going out. She looked at the full bowl of medicine with some surprise, the color of which was dark gray, and there were many residues left in the bottom of the bowl. She curiously asked Qingyuanzi: "How can such a small Lingxiangcao produce so much residue?"

  Qingyuanzi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and explained: "Hehe, that Lingxian grass is just one of the many medicines that plays a key role. Since I didn't know when you could find it back, I've been brewing medicine for him to drink all this time, and the effect is not bad, but without the Lingxian grass, he can't fully recover."

  Lucy nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

  The effect of the Ling Xian Grass was indeed magical. The next morning, Luosiqi hadn't even gotten out of bed when she heard someone knocking on her door. She asked sleepily from inside, "Who is it?" The voice that came from outside was none other than Tang Xiaoxiao's, full of energy just like before he got injured. Overjoyed, she quickly put on her clothes and opened the door, exchanging silly smiles with Tang Xiaoxiao for a long time.

  Before returning to the Moon Peak, Qing Yuansu finally discovered that one of the seven-colored Linglong stones on Luosi Qi's wrist had completely turned orange. Previously, because the orange stone was just below her wrist, Qing Yuansu put all his attention on the Lingxian grass and didn't notice it for a while. He asked Luosi Qi about the process of the stone turning orange and how she overcame jealousy, and this time he showed no less shock than when he saw the Lingxian grass.

  Luosi told him and Tang Xiaoxia about her experience of meeting Chi Huang when she went to find the Ling Xian Cao, but for some reason, she didn't tell Qingyuanzi that Chi Huang had recognized the owner of the Seven-Colored Luminous Stone. She felt in her heart that it was better if only she knew this secret, and as for why she felt this way, she couldn't explain it clearly. Fortunately, even if she kept this secret hidden, the whole story still made sense.

  After listening to the story, Qing Yuansu sighed for a long time. He said to Luosiqi: "Actually, I've also heard some things about Batu God and Black Witch Mountain. I didn't expect that Batu God would send you Lingxian Grass because of his interest in Morning Star. The Night God Sect on Black Witch Mountain is mysterious and unpredictable. I have always suspected that each leader of the Night God Sect has a connection with the evil gods. It's great that you can bring back Lingxian Grass without entering Black Witch Mountain. If the Night God Sect really has a relationship with the evil gods, once you enter Black Witch Mountain and are discovered to possess the Seven-Colored Linglong Stone, the consequences will be unthinkable. Perhaps not only will you fail to bring back Lingxian Grass, but you may also become deeply embroiled in it and find it difficult to extricate yourself!"

  Qing Yuansu sighed and continued, "Perhaps this is fate! If you had come back to me before going to Hei Wu Mountain and told me you were going there, I would have definitely not let you go on such a dangerous adventure. That way, not only would Tang Xiaoxia's illness not be cured, but the orange seven-colored Linglong Stone on your wrist also wouldn't have been fully activated under coincidental circumstances!"

  He then asked Luosiqi to show him the power of the orange stone after it was fully activated, saying that he wanted to see it before guiding her on how to continue her cultivation.

  To thoroughly demonstrate the abilities that Luosike currently possesses, it's not possible in a room. Therefore, the three of them along with their younger brother went to the place where they used to practice, which is a valley deep within the mountains with many rocks and flat areas. This training ground is suitable for practicing martial arts moves on flat ground as well as using rocks to test the power of their spells.

  After so many days of practice, Luo Siqi had already grasped the method of manipulating her Qi and controlling the direction of her consciousness quite skillfully. Watching her easily blast open two not-too-large rocks, everyone except Qing Yuansu was shocked with their mouths agape.

  Qingyuanzi told her that the power of jealousy is the most powerful force besides the power of hatred, and now that she has activated the orange stone symbolizing jealousy, she needs to activate another stone before returning to Lintai Peak.

  Then everyone came to the underground cave, which was next to the Heart Stone Monument that could transport Luoxi and Tang Xiaohai to Lin Yuefeng's Star Observation Platform. When they returned here, Tang Xiaohai's mood was obviously a bit excited. This was exactly where he had used Lingyun Sword to continuously kill monsters and finally released Chiyan to burn all the monsters to ashes.

  Lucy recalled the events of that night with a sense of nostalgia, and thought that if she were to encounter those monsters now, she could easily take care of them on her own. Just as she was thinking this, bubbles suddenly began rising from the small lake beneath her.
